Remove all oil pan bolts. Remove engine mount to frame fasteners. Jack the engine up about an inch or two. Slide the oil pan rearward. Remove the two bolts that secure the oil pickup to the engine. Remove pan. That simple.

For the oil pickup tube and the pan bolts, the torque spec is only 10 ft-lbs. so common sense is all that's needed to determine how tight you need to go.

Any chance the 2WD does not need the engine to be lifted?

Thanks

The pump is in the front cover, not in the pan, so that's a different can of worms. Replacing the pan is just the opposite of Mike's removal instructions.
